Current Research

I lead the Brain Data Group, which focuses on measuring cognitive activity in everyday life. This involves a) measuring levels of mental workload as we interact with technology, b) evaluating how we experience mental workload over time, and c) the neuroethics concerns of neurotechnology becoming part of our lives. Since joining Nottingham in 2012, we have focused on demonstrating the validity and efficacy of using functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) in HCI, as a method of measuring mental workload during interaction. With consumer brain scanners now available, our research also focuses on the inevitable future of living with neurotechnology and other wearables and systems that try to estimate and track our cognitive activity. We call this Cognitive Personal Informatics, where we consider how technology will try to show us this data, what goals people will have for their lives, and what neuroethical concerns this new type of personal data creates, both personally and for e.g. employers.

Teaching

I am Director of Undergraduate Studies in the School of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham, having led Student Experience initiatives in the school for over a decade. Previously, I have taught HCI research methods, Interactive IR, HCI History, Mixed Reality, introduction to software engineering, developer portfolios. I currently teach:

Software Maintenance & DevOps

My work involves giving many other presentations, including research talks at several institutions around the UK and Europe, at expert workshops (Dagstuhls, NII Shonan), for funding bodies and steering groups, and at large international conferences. At CHI2010 and CHI2011, I led a plenary session infront of all 2,600 attendees. I spoke in front of 5,000 people as papers chair at both CHI2024 and CHI2023. See invited talks below for more detail.

Technical Capabilities

Over time, I have learnt a number of languages and worked with various technologies. I primarily work with javascript, node.js, Python, Java, HTML/CSS, and SQL. In the past, I learnt languages including Perl, c++ and c#. More recently, I have begun to learn Rust, and have been developing apps in iOS, using Swift. I am primarily a mac user, with access to linux servers and virtualised windows machines.

My recent focus on technical skills has been advanced use of git, DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, and AI agents.

Management and Supervision

I enjoy supervising students. I typically supervise 4-6 PhD students, 3-4 MSc students and 3-5 final year undergraduate students per year. I also mentor small groups of first and second year undergraduate students. I have a hands-on frequent supervision style, to encourage and facilitate students in improving themselves and their work. Beyond direct supervision, and the reading group that I coordinate amongst my own students, I have organised a seminar & reading group in the past, to enrich the breadth of understanding that all of our students and researchers have.

Within research teams, according to the Belbin work role evaluation (see www.belbin.com), I score highly as a mediator/coordinator.

External Examiner Roles:

Leeds University, Leeds (2025-~2029) - Undergradate Computer Science, BSc
City University, London (2025-~2029) - Online Computer Science, MSc Programmes
Brunel University, London (2020-~2025) - Digital Service Design MSc

UK & Ireland Programming Contest
I have been Contest Director for the UK & Ireland Programming Contest (UKIEPC) since 2013. The contest has grown to involve nearly 1000 students each year, taking part at ~20 locations across the UK and Ireland.

Work History

Mercator Fellow (Honorary position), KIT (2025-Present)
.In 2025, I began to collabroate with researchers in KIT over neurotechnology. This collaboration was enhanced in an exchange of honorary positions.

Associate Professor, University of Nottingham (2019-Present)
In 2019, after winning two large research grants, and redesigning our school's curriculum (amongst other activities), I have been promoted to Associate Professor. My responsibilities currently focus on curriculum development and welcome-week activities, maintaining the same levels of teaching and supervision.

Assistant Professor, University of Nottingam (2012-2019)
Equivialent position to Assistant Professor in the U.S., combining research and teaching in the Mixed Reality Lab (HCI). I am the Qualifying Year Coordinator within the school, teach 3rd year CSCW and 1st year Requirements Engineering. I supervise 5 PhD stduents, and a number of MSc and undergrdaute dissertations each year.

Lecturer, Swansea University (2009-2012)
Equivalent to an Assistant Professor position in the U.S., I taught HCI masters modules and co-teach a Software Engineering module for 2nd year undergraduates. I also supervised 3 PhD students, a number of Masters and 3rd year projects, as well as 2nd year tutorials. I worked in the Future Interaction Technology Lab. My administrative responsibilities included organising the departmental talks, running student challenges and competitions, and coordinating open/interview days for prospective students.

Internship, Microsoft Research (Cambridge, UK) (2008 Summer)
I spent 3 months working as an intern with the Integrated Systems part of the Computer Mediated Living group, working with Natasa Milic-Frayling in the Integrated Systems team.

Research Assistant, University of Southampton. (2004-2008 pt)
I have worked for the university a few times now, but this was my most significant period of work. My research was oriented around usability and semantic web technologies.
